My new music video ‘I’m Broke’ made the Bucketlist! “Montreal’s tap-dancing rapper, Xania, releases “I’m Broke”, the first video from her brand new album All Alone Together. This video was filmed with $0, hard work and lots of pure joy. It was filmed by Robert Donachie and Sylvain Brosset…” Check out the video: Read the […]

My first review for All Alone Together has arrived! To read the original, Deutsches version (for all you German homies) go here: http://www.tantepop.de/2015/11/xania-all-alone-together.html Below is a translation done by Björn Hochschild: Yes, from time to time we do indulge in Rap music.

My father died when I was 13 and my two younger brothers were 11 and 7. Having a parent die when we were kids left a void in the three of us. Our childhoods and teens were partly spent trying to fill that bottomless void in however ways we could. Shitty relationships, television, booze, weed, […]

I sit on a park bench in the sun as red leaves fall around me. I can hear a flock of geese flying South. I feel the exciting buzz of potential. We spent this week making cd covers for the new album. In my experience, albums with hand-made covers sell 1000% (that’s a real number) […]

Last night I played Pop Montreal and it was a dream come true! Everything went perfectly! Line-up, audience, sound, projections, beautiful familiar faces dotted the crowd, I’m still high off the night! Thank you Pop Montreal & One Man Band Festival, Jonah, Bobby for the wonderful projections and everybody there!

We layered electronic and acoustic sounds with care to create fun, silly and serious pieces about robots, outer […]

It’s taken a lot of work and frustration to get my new album to sound how it should. Sometimes, all it takes is removing an instrument, re-recording a phrase or adding a tiny detail. But knowing what to alter is the hardest part. I can get stuck in a cycle of adding more and more […]

The soundman snorted lines of white powder off the mixing console. The show was being promoted as the venue’s last live show, because of too many noise complaints and visits from the Polizei. The club owners were like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll would walk by smiling and say “Have anything you like, I’m […]

Transportation can be very cheap in Germany. On the weekends, one can take the ‘Schönes Wochenende’ ticket (translates to ‘Beautiful Weekend’) to anywhere in Germany. The ticket is 44 euros and up to 5 people can ride on one ticket BUT you can only take local transport. We started in Antwerp and only 7 transfers […]
